Sonam Wangchuk, an activist associated with the Cockroach Janata Party, was forcibly hospitalized in New Delhi after his health deteriorated during a 20-day hunger strike.
The strike was part of a movement demanding education reforms, including the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam paper leaks.

Impact & Risks

The forced hospitalization has intensified tensions between activists and authorities, potentially galvanizing public support for the movement. Allegations of exam paper leaks and student suicides have already raised concerns about the education system's integrity. The situation could lead to broader protests, straining law enforcement and political stability.
